As for Alfred Hitchcock experienced something like this before he made his movie “The Birds”? Sure there are birds in the movie but I read somewhere years ago that it was done with multiple takes, superimposed to produce large numbers of
birds when there were in fact few of them. I am assuming such as the scene of many birds sitting on rooves. It must have taken a lot of editing. Most (perhaps all - that I don’t know) of the close ups of birds heads pecking etc are not birds at all, but models
(and not very good ones).

From about 7.30am numbers began to build up and continued noisily over my house and garden until final stragglers ceased after 12.15pm. There were quite a few White-naped Honeyeaters in this exodus.
A bit like being in a movie set. I wonder if Alfred Hitchcock experienced something like this before he made his movie “The Birds”?
